Ah Yee's premonition proves prophetic          

An observant POE employee's decision to park a truck in mid-June kept north Idaho drivers safe.

District 1 Port of Entry Inspector Chance Ah Yee interacted with a driver, who was slow in his response to questions. The driver was having difficulty. Chance became concerned.

The driver said that he had been sick for the past week and was feeling fatigued. To protect the traveling public and the driver, Chance ordered the driver to park his rig.

A month later the driver contacted the Huetter Port of Entry to thank Chance. The driver had suffered a stroke just one day after Ah Yee ordered the truck parked.

"Chance did a great job of sensing something was wrong and using his discretion to prevent a potential accident," said ITD Compliance Manager Reymundo Rodriguez.
